• Shiraishi was separated from her quaint Junyo family by an accident. She was then taken by the Hogosha and trained as a killer employed by Samura to dissuade foreign companies from trading in Kusari. She was stripped of her morality and humanity and has one last emotional crutch: the only other survivor of the accident, a gray tabby cat with black stripes named Jin.
  
  Later in the story (this is really just proof that I need to keep working on it) Shiraishi is allowed to be taught how to fly in space to openly fight foreign powers in Kusari. She is only given such an opportunity to act as a scapegoat for the authorities in an attack on an important shipment by Universal Shipping. Thinking that she was soon to be removed from his life altogether, Nakajima, her doyen (boss) who had never enjoyed the thought of Jin living, decides to remove the small cat from its skin the night before the operation while Shiraishi is sleeping.
  
  When Shiraishi awakes in the morning to find Jin gone, she is enveloped in a great torrent of sorrow. Not wanting to dishonor herself, she enters the docking bay of Kagoshima to find she is to fly a Praetorian Corsair Bomber, a supposed gift of her graduating from a simple ground agent. Still enveloped by sorrow, she undergoes her mission as intended until Nakajima makes a joke about killing rats (what he often called Jin). Now filled with fury at the knowledge that her only friend was now dead, Shiraishi leaves the last vestiges of her sanity and humanity behind and opens fire on Nakajima, killing him and subsequently killing the other Farmer's Alliance (who was under equipped for fighting as Shiraishi would be the only one actually fighting in this operation while Nakajima and the other guy made a silent escape to leave Shiraishi to the authorities) pilot in the Seiran Dust Cloud.
  
  Over the next few days Shiraishi wanders the Shikoku system destitute, and killing anyone who could not answer her nonsensical and insane questions regarding Jin and other pets. With their ever watchful eye, the Phantoms had noticed this violence, and met Jin in one of the nebulae (the one between the other two) in Shikoku. In the Phantoms she met Dark Blossom, who has more or less become her mentor and role model.
  
  Her favorite color is purple and she is quite insane.
  

• Do you want to play? I want to play! What games do you like?
  Come play with me! Blossom calls my game "kitties and vacuum"...
  Do you know where Jin is? I miss Jin...
  But we can't play. Blossom told me not to play with pets like you.

' Wrote:Here is Nika's Guild.Wiki page. Quite the opposite of the character here, having a very benign path instead of the malicious one I portray for Pitchfork, so I didn't include it, but if it helps, there it is.
